Thank Maureen. I propose a discussion on how to make use of the new opportunities and challenges to build a more robust ICANN community that can promote ICANN's global public interest role. The board and At-Large will discuss the opportunities that might have come with the COVID-19 pandemic and how the challenges were addressed. Further, we will discuss ICANN's public interest role in relation to new initiatives like the new gTLDs program and the gTLD registration data and the role of the At-Large community in particular.

The Board still values its dialogue with your Groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual AGM that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for the Community Dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montreal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received with the entire Community using the Policy digest as it was a successful tool for improving transparency and allow the groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: * Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team@icann.org)<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> your single topic or the list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday 5 October 2020 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman Chair, ICANN Board of Directors _______________________________________________ SO-AC-SG-CLeaders mailing list SO-AC-SG-CLeaders@icann.org<mailto:SO-AC-SG-CLeaders@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/so-ac-sg-cleaders _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos).
